You might not know how spoiled I am. My mom is a wonderful cook and every Sunday she makes us dinner, the most delicious dinner with the most beautifully set table.. I haven't cooked Sunday dinner for years, oh and she refuses to let me help her with the dishes. How lucky am I? Well, she had an idea for a new tradition, new recipe Sunday. Once a month our meal and dessert will be recipes we have never tried. I love this idea. I always read cookbooks but rarely actually try the recipes I mark. My brother Jeff and his wife Dawn and their kids, Bella, Sofie and Reed come too. Tonight my mom made Aussie chicken, it was tasty! It was topped with a sweet mustard sauce, mushrooms, cheese and bacon. I made a tomato pie that Jane Clayson raves about and strawberry pretzel salad from Paula Dean. For dessert, Dawn made polka dot cookies, I think I at five. They were very tasty. I like this new tradition. I need to start looking for next months recipe.

I think that any food that is made in your house is absolutely awesome. I am sure that I could take some lessons on cooking from you and pick up some new yummy recipes. So I suppose we should set that up some time.
